angular-oauth2-oidc

Support for OAuth 2 and OpenId Connect (OIDC) in Angular. Already prepared for the upcoming OAuth 2.1.

Breaking Change in Version 9

With regards to tree shaking, beginning with version 9, the JwksValidationHandler has been moved to a library of its own. If you need it for implementing implicit flow, please install it using npm:

npm i angular-oauth2-oidc-jwks --save

After that, you can import it into your application by using this:

import { JwksValidationHandler } from 'angular-oauth2-oidc-jwks';

instead of that:

import { JwksValidationHandler } from 'angular-oauth2-oidc';

Please note, that this dependency is not needed for the code flow, which is nowadays the recommended flow for single page applications. This also results in smaller bundle sizes.

Tested Environment

Successfully tested with Angular 9 and its Router, PathLocationStrategy as well as HashLocationStrategy and CommonJS-Bundling via webpack. At server side we've used IdentityServer (.NET / .NET Core) and Redhat's Keycloak (Java).

Angular 9: Use 9.x versions of this library (should also work with older Angular versions!).

Angular 8: Use 8.x versions of this library.

Angular 7: Use 7.x versions of this library.

Angular 6: Use Version 4.x of this library. Version 4.x was tested with Angular 6. You can also try the newer version 5.x of this library which has a much smaller bundle size.

Angular 5.x or 4.3: If you need support for Angular < 6 (4.3 to 5.x) you can download the former version 3.1.4 (npm i angular-oauth2-oidc@^3 --save).

Release Cycle

We plan one major release for each Angular version
- Will contain new features
- Will contain bug fixes and PRs
Critical bugfixes on demand

Features

Logging in via Code Flow + PKCE
- Hence, you are safe for the upcoming OAuth 2.1
Logging in via Implicit Flow (where a user is redirected to Identity Provider)
"Logging in" via Password Flow (where a user enters their password into the client)
Token Refresh for all supported flows
Automatically refreshing a token when/some time before it expires
Querying Userinfo Endpoint
Querying Discovery Document to ease configuration
Validating claims of the id_token regarding the specs
Hook for further custom validations
Single-Sign-Out by redirecting to the auth-server's logout-endpoint
Tested with all modern browsers and IE

Sample-Auth-Server

You can use the OIDC-Sample-Server used in our examples. It assumes, that your Web-App runs on http://localhost:4200

Username/Password:

max/geheim
bob/bob
alice/alice

clientIds:

spa (Code Flow + PKCE)
implicit (implicit flow)

redirectUris:

localhost:[4200-4202]
localhost:[4200-4202]/index.html
localhost:[4200-4202]/silent-refresh.html

Installing

npm i angular-oauth2-oidc --save

Importing the NgModule

import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { OAuthModule } from 'angular-oauth2-oidc';
// etc.

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // etc.
    HttpClientModule,
    OAuthModule.forRoot()
  ],
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    HomeComponent,
    // etc.
  ],
  bootstrap: [
    AppComponent
  ]
})
export class AppModule {
}

Logging in

Since Version 8, this library supports code flow and PKCE to align with the current draft of the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice document. This is also the foundation of the upcoming OAuth 2.1.

To configure your solution for code flow + PKCE you have to set the responseType to code:

  import { AuthConfig } from 'angular-oauth2-oidc';

  export const authCodeFlowConfig: AuthConfig = {
    // Url of the Identity Provider
    issuer: 'https://demo.identityserver.io',

    // URL of the SPA to redirect the user to after login
    redirectUri: window.location.origin + '/index.html',

    // The SPA's id. The SPA is registerd with this id at the auth-server
    // clientId: 'server.code',
    clientId: 'spa',

    // Just needed if your auth server demands a secret. In general, this
    // is a sign that the auth server is not configured with SPAs in mind
    // and it might not enforce further best practices vital for security
    // such applications.
    // dummyClientSecret: 'secret',

    responseType: 'code',

    // set the scope for the permissions the client should request
    // The first four are defined by OIDC.
    // Important: Request offline_access to get a refresh token
    // The api scope is a usecase specific one
    scope: 'openid profile email offline_access api',

    showDebugInformation: true,

    // Not recommented:
    // disablePKCI: true,
  };

After this, you can initialize the code flow using:

this.oauthService.initCodeFlow();

There is also a convenience method initLoginFlow which initializes either the code flow or the implicit flow depending on your configuration.

this.oauthService.initLoginFlow();

Also -- as shown in the readme -- you have to execute the following code when bootstrapping to make the library to fetch the token:

this.oauthService.configure(authCodeFlowConfig);
this.oauthService.loadDiscoveryDocumentAndTryLogin();

Skipping the Login Form

If you don't want to display a login form that tells the user that they are redirected to the identity server, you can use the convenience function this.oauthService.loadDiscoveryDocumentAndLogin(); instead of this.oauthService.loadDiscoveryDocumentAndTryLogin(); when setting up the library.

This directly redirects the user to the identity server if there are no valid tokens. Ensure you have your issuer set to your discovery document endpoint!

Calling a Web API with an Access Token

You can automate this task by switching sendAccessToken on and by setting allowedUrls to an array with prefixes for the respective URLs. Use lower case for the prefixes.

OAuthModule.forRoot({
    resourceServer: {
        allowedUrls: ['http://www.angular.at/api'],
        sendAccessToken: true
    }
})

If you need more versatility, you can look in the documentation how to setup a custom interceptor.

Token Refresh

See docs: https://manfredsteyer.github.io/angular-oauth2-oidc/docs/additional-documentation/refreshing-a-token.html

Routing

If you use the PathLocationStrategy (which is on by default) and have a general catch-all-route (path: '**') you should be fine. Otherwise look up the section Routing with the HashStrategy in the documentation.
